iOS 6.1.1 update: Your iPhone 4S 3G connectivity troubles are over

Apple quickly rolled out an iOS patch this Monday, iOS 6.1.1. The update fixes an issue that iPhone 4S owners were experiencing with their 3G connectivity on their iPhones. It also resolves bugs regarding excessive use when connecting to Exchange servers.

iPhone 4S users can now safely update

Apple's last minor update, iOS 6.1, came with more LTE support, Siri and iTunes match improvements.

The main problem the update addresses is 3G connectivity issues on the iPhone 4S: in the UK, Vodafone warned its users on Friday that they might not be able to make calls, text or use the Internet if they upgrade to iOS 6.1. Now, the message from Apple to iPhone4S users is: "This update fixes an issue that could impact cellular performance and reliability for iPhone 4S". iOS 6.1.1:

iOS 6.1.1 should be available as an over-the-air upgrade, or it can be downloaded through iTunes. Just select Settings > General > Software Update or connect your phone to your PC and check via iTunes to see if your phone can be updated.

This is really ironic, seeing as I had little to no connectivity problems before the update, but no that I do, my phone won't even give me the option to connect to WiFi. I have never had more issues with my connection, and I'm really frustrated with it. It all started withing a few days after this update.
